Was great to speak on Redbelly Insights podcast about Fireblocks and the world of Institutional custody.

@RyanSAdams $BMNR is that company?

It’s clear the future of Ethereum can’t depend on the EF. The EF remains important but Ethereum needs new institutions to step in and fill gaps. We need an org that wants ETH the asset to win - number go up. And gets loud. And executes hard. The EF is not that, never will be.

.@PepperstoneX, one of the world's largest forex and CFD brokers, just deployed the full Fireblocks stack to launch spot crypto trading for Australian clients. 🔗: prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

S&P Dow Jones Indices and trade[XYZ] have joined forces to launch the first official S&P 500 perpetual contract, available exclusively on Hyperliquid. For 69 years, the S&P 500 has been a defining reference point for global finance. Until now, access to that benchmark has been shaped by market hours, intermediaries, and geography. Today, that changes. The S&P 500 perp is now available 24/7/365, anchored by the official index data required for deep liquidity and institutional confidence at scale.  SPDJI helped define modern indexing. They are stewards of an iconic benchmark, the standard against which portfolios across the globe are measured. We are honored to bring that legacy on-chain. Trade[XYZ] is bringing the world's most iconic assets towards a future of global, continuous markets — a future powered by Hyperliquid.

BREAKING: Michael Saylor's Strategy is now estimated to have accumulated 4,038 BTC today via STRC 🤯 Nearly double it's previous daily record! 🚀

L2s are the best business model in crypto. Built on Ethereum.

Why don’t they just tokenize the oil in the Middle East and transport it across permissionless financial rails, thereby avoiding the Strait of Hormuz altogether

JUST IN: BlackRock launches staked Ethereum ETF on Nasdaq

Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally. Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.

@awrigh01 Isnt it more likely the war in Iran?

Is this the first crisis of the AI supercycle?

Boomers to the rescue again as bitcoin ETFs record $1.5b of inflows in the past 5 days after another big day yesterday. Biggest haul in a while, just about all of the original ten spot ETFs seeing action too = breadth and depth. This after a 50%(!) drawdown and most underwater. Even I'm impressed.

Someone’s looking for a pardon and doesn’t realize the Clarity Act would have you locked up for much longer than 25 years. My legislation couldn’t be more different than the bill you tried to buy from Congress over my objection in 2022. We do not need—nor want—your support.
